Rotate Ads and Make Money with your Blog
Every report you read about Internet revenue is going up. More companies are putting their money into Internet Advertising. I found some cool plugins for Wordpress that you can use to put ads on your blog.
This free plugin that adds a new “Ads” menu to the WordPress admin, featuring submenus for tweaking display settings and adding and removing ads. You can one or two column display, keep track of how many times an ad was clicked. You can show as many ads as you want, and in either manual or random order. All the ad sales go to you (no middle man). You can find it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp125/
OIO Publisher
This plugin does more than just rotate ads. It appears to accept payments (paypal) and it links back to the OIO publisher site that advertisers can search to find their target niche. So there is a potential for people to come advertise on your blog by using their advertising directory. The plugin is free, but to be listed in the directory you need to have a pro account which is $37 (one time fee). There is also an affiliate program built into the system. You have TONS of options, and you can even take the script and put tun the advertisements on another website. You set limits and much more in this very powerful interface. All the ad sales go to you (no middle man). You can find it at oiopublisher.com
Time Tracker Plugin for Firefox
Do you spend too much time on Firefox? Do you open tabs faster than you can close them? Cannot get things done? Keep track of how much you browse with TimeTracker. Using this plugin I can see where I’m not even done recording the podcast and I’m up to 23 minutes. Check it out at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1887
